This overview of the role played by the precautionary principle in
international trade law, European law and national law compares how
precautionary considerations have been applied in the fields of
pesticide regulation and the regulation of base stations for mobile
telephones in Sweden, the UK and the US. A number of problems in
the current application of the precautionary principle are
identified and discussed. For example, it is shown that a firm
reliance on a wide and open-ended precautionary principle may lead
to problems with the consistency, foreseeability, effectiveness and
efficiency of measures intended to reduce environmental or health
risks. It is suggested that the precautionary principle indeed may
be an important tool, but that in order to be acceptable it must be
coupled with strong requirements on the performance of risk
assessments, cost/benefit analyses and risk trade-off analyses.
